We have scoured the back pages and the internet to bring you the latest gossip.
We are not saying they’re true - just that they are out there.
WOLVES
Wolves are not interested in Celtic defender Bobo Balde due to his £27,500 a week wage demands - but may still want another centre-back before the transfer window closes.
ALBION
The Baggies will make a second attempt to sign Charlton's Zheng Zhi, increasing their bid from £1.5million to £2million.
It has been reported that Albion manager Tony Mowbray is not only interested in Real Mallorca midfielder Borja Valero - he is looking at teammate's Oscar Trejo and Nunes as well.
VILLA
Villa are reported to be willing to pay £7m to sign Reading striker Kevin Doyle - but the Championship club are demanding £8million.
Gareth Barry's appearance in the UEFA Cup for Villa has effectively ended his chances of a move to Liverpool until January at the earliest.
WALSALL
Saddlers boss Jimmy Mullen is looking at possible loan targets to fill the void left by suspended striker Michael Ricketts.
BLUES
Blues manager Alex McLeish has dismissed that Glasgow Rangers have the money for a move for striker James McFadden.
